Why are these the most important events?
8. Make a story map featuring your key events. In a story map, key events are put into spatial
context, with annotations (labels, brief statements) and graphics (arrows, dotted lines, symbols) that
tell the story. As you design and annotate your map, keep these four questions in mind: what,
where, why there and so what? Remember, you want to tell a story.
